Today I want to talk about a very small thing—so small that many people don’t even pay attention. But I’ve found it can be deadly. Have you ever observed yourself in those few seconds before placing an order, from “I want to buy” to “I actually bought”—how long is it? Most people do it in no more than ten seconds. Seeing a bullish green candle, one thought pops into your head, and your finger is already clicking.

Only after you buy do you start thinking: what is this for? Is it reliable? Could it just be bait for bagholders?

This situation is especially severe at night. During the day, you might still be a bit rational; but around midnight, you’re mentally exhausted, your willpower is weak, and your phone happens to be in your hand. The moment the market moves, placing an order feels as casual as ordering takeout. The next morning you wake up and look at the position record—seeing that unfamiliar coin name—and you’re filled with regret.

My method is kind of dumb, but it has saved me a lot of money. It’s forced delay. No matter how much you want to buy, from the moment the thought appears, you must wait five minutes. If five minutes isn’t long enough, wait ten minutes. Don’t underestimate those few minutes. Impulse has a peak; once you pass that peak, your brain regains rationality, and many things you’ll know on your own that you shouldn’t do.

There’s an even harsher one: set trading limits. You’re allowed to execute at most two operations per day, no matter whether you’re making money or losing money. Once you hit the limit, you’re not allowed to touch it again that day. The trading app can even set an operation password—make you enter the password once before you can place an order, increasing the friction of trading. With impulse, if you set enough obstacles, it won’t be as likely to win.

In the end, many trading mistakes aren’t mistakes in judgment—they’re mistakes in impulse. If you judge wrong, you can summarize experience. If you act on impulse wrong, you’ll just keep regretting it. Stretching those few seconds before placing an order might be the most achievable and effective risk control for ordinary people.
